Looks and sounds good for sure. Probably dont even need the rum if none is on hand. Definitely will try it.


Another super easy dessert is take a can or two of pie filling (cherries, blueberries, peaches, apples, etc.) and pour into a casserole dish, or similar. Then top it with a box of vanilla cake mix. Then top that with butter in slices. Bake until golden brown and yummy-yo. Cheap, supereasy, and tasty. Whipped Cream to top.

It's not just for show. You change the chemistry of food when you flambé.

You burn off the alcohol. The alcohol evaporates anyway.

Cool recipe.


Another easy dessert?

Oreo pudding pie. Throw a cup of milk in with a box of instant oreo pudding and mix. Then throw in half a container of cool whip and mix. Then throw that in the cookie pie crust and chill.

The intense heat produces very complex flavor compounds in the spirit that can't be achieved any other way.

Do what? Show cooking pics? No, I do that for a lot of things, especially barbecue.

Here's one of them:

Crusty banana? Are you trying to tell us something, vcu? Jk.

I think the effect an earlier poster was getting at is the carmelizing effect of the flambé?

The heat in the pan also caramelizes. I'm just not convinced that the amount of time it would take for the alcohol in 1 tbsp of rum to burn off would accomplish much.

This. You have to wait until it is cooked before adding the rum if you want to flambe. Otherwise all the alcohol will evaporate during cooking.

Also you can use molasses instead of brown sugar.

Good stuff.

It's not just about making the alcohol "go away". It's about adding another layer of flavor that wouldn't be there if you don't.

pudding takes 2 or 3 cups of milk depending on box size.

With a larger portion of alcohol, yes. With 1 tbsp of rum, probably not.
